April 0, 2008 - FARO Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq: FARO) the world leader in portable computer-aided measurement hardware and software, announced that the Company has acquired an exclusive license from Dimensional Photonics International, Inc., a leading provider of high-speed, high-accuracy digital shape scanners, for global rights to develop, manufacture and sell the company's technology and products. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

''This is a perfect fit for FARO, both strategically and operationally,'' FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. ''I have been very open about my desire to expand our non-contact capabilities and DPI's technology provides us with a one-of-a-kind platform to do so. Their current products are highly applicable to all the existing industrial markets we currently serve, and we will continue to enhance and refine the technology as we move forward.''

Olaf Krohg, Chairman and CEO of DPI, agreed: ''FARO is a great match for this technology given their significant market presence, depth of technical knowledge, and history of making small technology-driven acquisitions highly successful.''
FARO expects the transaction to be mildly dilutive to earnings in 2008 and 2009. The license covers:

- Technology and products only - no personnel or facilities are involved
- Rights to more than 20 existing and pending patents
- Rights to certain technology developed and patented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

FARO as the exclusive owner of global rights for a broad mix of industrial applications
FARO will establish a new Technology Center of Excellence in the Boston area, close to the existing DPI team, in order to ensure successful technology transfer as well as to draw upon the vast technical talent available in that geographic area. The new R&D team will fall under FARO's current Engineering organization headed by Jim West, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer.

DPI's proprietary technology, Accordion Fringe Interferometry (AFI), creates a -D digital model of a physical object's surface by immersing it in patterns of light, then recording how the light reflects. Its ability to achieve accuracy of 25 microns or better in a 500 mm field of view is world class for a non-contact technology.

AFI is also highly scalable technology, with inherent design flexibility between accuracy, speed and field of view. It is capable of -D scanning objects from nano-scale to several meters in size.

The technology is complementary to FARO's existing non-contact offerings. The FARO Laser Scanner LS is capable of significantly larger volume, but with lower accuracy. The FARO ScanArm is more portable than the existing DPI product, but is also less accurate.

''This is game-changing technology for FARO,'' Freeland concluded. ''When combined with our significant level of expertise in three-dimensional measurement, imaging and optics, it will enable us to positively impact more industries and applications than ever.''
